         ♦ Василий был на фронте со своей дивизией, потом - корпусом. Он шёл и шёл в гору - генерал, ордена, медали, - и всё больше пил (Аллилуева 1).

         ♦ Складка брюк и та могла удостоверить, что Халыбьеву теперь не приходится весь день валяться на сальном диване, что он, наконец, пошёл в гору (Эренбург 2).
