Compare the value of a in both cases (in irb):

01> a = Object.new
--> #<Object:0x732e7c>
02> a.instance_eval do
03>      @names = ["you", "me"]
04>   end
--> ["you", "me"]
05> a
--> #<Object:0x732e7c @names=["you", "me"]>

06> a = Object.new.instance_eval do
07>      @names = ["you", "me"]
08>   end
--> ["you", "me"]
09> a
--> ["you", "me"]

Does that help?
