What should happen to me to make me say instead of
..they didn't stop weeping when I left them.
this variant:
..they didn't stop weeping when I took my leave of them.
I don't think I can agree with you, Anton. There's
nothing in either statement to suggest consent. "Took
my leave" does imply, imo, communicating with the
group/person ("goodbye, see you later") while the first
form implies only that the person left.
