The second join: el, mb, at and tt with no lead in

The letters are formed by following the right starting point and direction. The second join goes from the baseline to the ascender line when joining to a tall letter. The second join goes from the baseline to in between the x-height line and the ascender line when joining the letter t. The pencil only lifts to add the cross to the t once you have finished the letter string. When two letter ts are together, one cross can go across both.
