Minkless

Even though top-quality mink coats are up, furriers are using split skins to make lower-priced minks, too. "Minkless mink" will be quite a sensation with the people who dote on but can't afford the real thing.

The fantasy of herself in a trench coat, rather than as she was, minkless and shivering, dashing forth to save the world, which God knew was now beyond saving, kept her going.
