take with
Carry when leaving
To take with something is to find it appealing or be attracted to it, almost always in negative constructions: I wasn't taken with the idea, She's not taken with his new girlfriend.
The positive form sounds old-fashioned: He was quite taken with her charm.
The phrase suggests an initial impression rather than settled opinion.
