The answer to 13a is eschew
The clue to 19a is 13 - selfishly?
I hope that you can now see why forego is the answer. Collins dictionary gives both versions as correct.

I don't have the crossword so I don't understand why the answer has to be tied in with Eschew.
Is the clue incomplete? Selfishly eschew? Should it include a reference to another clue number?
Besides, I thought the spelling for eschew was forgo (with to forego meaning something different- to precede)

Thanks- I assumed 13 was the clue number not part of the clue. It's always confusing when clues are not written correctly on here.
My online dictionary says "Notes: forego means to go before or precede (as in fore) and to do without is to forgo ", which is how I was always taught to spell them (and when I used to rely on Fowler), but I see that both spellings are now used in some dictionaries.
