Come to the coach-house, and I will show you the one I mean. It only needs repainting to look a perfectly splendid britchka." "The ramping, incorrigible devil!" thought Chichikov to himself as at all hazards he resolved to escape from britchkas, organs, and every species of dog, however marvellously barrel-ribbed and tucked up of paw.
After much walking, turning always down the street which looked pleasantest, he came to an oval with a statue of a pompous personage on a ramping horse. "Place des Victoires," he read the name, which gave him a faint tinge of amusement. He looked quizzically at the heroic features of the sun king and walked off laughing.

MY DEAR BOYS: I cannot tell you with what feelings I received your present; that beautiful sword with the silver karashishi ramping upon its sheath, or crawling through the silken cording of its wonderful hilt. At least I cannot tell you all.

"Oh! not at all, not all," said Osborn. "I was not laughing really; oh no!" But he had been, and had been secretly calling her a sentimental, ramping idiot.
Anna appeared and seemed to hesitate about asking her in. "Would you mind coming into the dining-room, ma'am?" she said at last; for how might a sitting-room be used for its legitimate purpose with a ramping rebel at large in it?
