devotedness

I loved this version of myself — for her devotedness to her craft, for her absurd certainty, and for her promise to be true to only one outcome.

The script of a ritual proscribed by the Kloran describes flaming crosses as “the emblem of that sincere, unselfish devotedness of all Klansmen to the sacred purpose and principles we espoused.”

She seems simple at points in her wifely devotedness, but this character is as discreetly ambitious as the others are ostentatiously so, and Swallow doesn’t allow us to underestimate Emily for long.

O'Mahoney is saddled with an awkward speech explaining the source of Billy's personal and professional devotedness to Emily, but his character's reticence is unfailingly eloquent.

It is an act of complete devotion that is meant to instill a life of devotedness to the only One worthy of such dedication.
