sob

“Serpent, I say again!” repeated the Pigeon, but in a more subdued tone, and added with a kind of sob, “I’ve tried every way, and nothing seems to suit them!”

With a sob she hastily discarded her garments, put on the skimpy nightgown and sprang into bed where she burrowed face downward into the pillow and pulled the clothes over her head.

Dorothy began to sob at this, for she felt lonely among all these strange people.

It was the sob of a woman, the muffled, strangling gasp of one who is torn by an uncontrollable sorrow.
