Osam Dazaiの小説 "The Setting Sun" (Donald Keen訳)を読んでいます。
She spoke with a genuinely unself-conscious smile. Behind her stood a thin little girl of about twelve with big eyes and a manner which suggested that she did not often take to people.

・Collins Dictionary: If you take to someone or something, you like them, especially after knowing them or thinking about them for only a short time.: Did the children take to him?
