Create and return object from method

Question

I'm just wondering if there is any more beautiful method to create object in the method and return it ?

Here is my code:

class Example
   def Example.load_from_file(filename)
     example = Example.new
     # some code
     example
   end
end

May be there is some Ruby idiom which allow me not to write example at the end of the method. Can you refactore this code or it is goog enough now ?

Assuming that you have example that is mutable and you keep applying destructive methods to it within "some code":

class Example
  def Example.load_from_file(filename)
    Example.new.tap do |example|
      # some code
    end
  end
end
