Or "weep in a subdued tone'... etc.
Depinde daca accentul e mai degraba pe lipsa de zgomot sau pe lipsa de agitatie, sa spunem...

: OK with weeping softly/quietly. To sob means to cry loudly, so I am not sure how one could do that quietly :).

: Merge și „to sob”, nu înseamnă neapărat a plânge zgomotos, a urla, ci a plânge înăbușit, cu suspine.

: Doar daca fusese incinerata in prealabil. Constructie incorecta (while she wept.. she's got..), exprimare neglijenta (she's got a brilliant idea), propozitie fara sens (ideea era a altcuiva - daca ea plangea de durere, nu se putea gandi la ideea geniala)
