    ≈ как сыр в масле кататься

    As through a glass darkly, we with our own eyes... discern at most: a blustering, dissipated human figure... tearing out the bowels of St Edmundsbury Convent... in the most ruinous way, by living at rack and manger there. (Th. Carlyle, ‘Past and Present’, book II, ch. I) — Мы с трудом, как в старом зеркале, различаем в глубине веков... буйную, беспутную фигуру Иоанна Безземельного... живя в монастыре Сент-Эдмундсбери, он как сыр в масле катался и совершенно разорил этот монастырь.
