Match 'a' followed by 'b' followed by 'c'. We are on a roll

We are at the end of the regexp, so we are done! We have
matched 'abcd' out of the string "abcde".

The first quantifier '.*' starts out by matching the whole

'a' in the regexp element 'at' doesn't match the end of the

'a' in the regexp element 'at' still doesn't match the last

Now we can match the 'a' and the 't'.
