Times Jumbo Cryptic 1236 Parsing 13A

[SealionSteve]

13a Setting apart English chap for first time in base (11).

I had s*g*e*a*i*n so I thought the answer was "segregation".

So "setting apart" is the definition, "English" is E and Chap is greg, That leaves "for first time in base" to clue "S" and "ation". All I can see is "station" for "base" with the first t dropped.

"First time" could be the first "t", but what is telling me to drop that t? It can't be "setting apart" because that is the definition.

Obviously I am either missing something or am on the wrong track - help please!

Segregation

[dannyk13]

Segregating - e(English) + greg(chap) inside seating(base)

[donny48]

Do you need the e(English) , it would give you 12 letters and is not required.

[Mamyalynne]

e Greg replaces (for) the first T in Station.

[donny48]

I was referring to the segregating answer.

[SealionSteve]

Thanks dannyk13 - I have a n at the end from 6 down, (Canon's husband abandoning the information superhighway?) giving "teNet" T(H)ENET. Maybe that's wrong?

[donny48]

T(h)enet looks to good to alter.

[Mamyalynne]

It's 'Segregation'.

[SealionSteve]

Thank you mamyalynne - I get it now!

[Mamyalynne]

You're welcome.

[SealionSteve]

And thanks donny48 for the vote of confidence in 6d :-)

[dannyk13]

How do you parse that Lynne?

[donny48]

Danny, look at 10.50 Lynne parses it there.

[Mamyalynne]

Base = Station

E Greg (for) the first T - S e Greg Ation

[Mamyalynne]

S e Greg ation

[dannyk13]

Ta.
