The difficulty should, whenever it is possible, be avoided by partially separating the two forms, as in b, where the center of the hindmost apple clears the outline of the other; thus making it possible to get a division without awkwardness.
Evandale's troop was scattered and in total confusion. "What is to be done, Colonel?" said Lord Evandale. "We are the last men in the field, I think," said Claverhouse; "and when men fight as long as they can, there is no shame in flying. Hector himself would say, 'Devil take the hindmost, when there are but twenty against a thousand. Save yourselves, my lads, and rally as soon as you can.
He slapped his knees, he laughed till the tears ran down his cheeks, and, as Jan put a very wicked eye into the face of the hindmost pig, he laughed merrily also. He was not insensible of his own talents, and the stimulus of the farmer's approbation gave vigor to his strokes. "Here, missus," cried Master Salter; "get down our Etherd's new slate, and give it to un; I'll get another for he.
Such a thing as perfect confidence, in the French sense of the word, between a parent and his or her grown-up child is most rare. 'Everyone for himself, and devil take the hindmost, is the motto of the young Australian. He cares for nobody, and nobody need care for him, so far as his thoughts on the subject are concerned.

We know that the native dogs of this country hunt and kill the kangaroo; they may be more fierce, but they do not appear to be so strong as our large greyhound; there was one not long ago seen in pursuit of a kangaroo, by a person who was employed in shooting, who mistaking the two animals as they passed him to be of the kind he was looking for, he fired at the hindmost and brought him down, but when he came up it proved to be a native dog.
The captain crossed himself hastily; but Stephen dashed forward towards the spot where the sound had come, shouting: “Come along, captain, it is a pig.” There was a rush as he entered the bushes, and a dozen pigs dashed off.
