contents We give explicit, highly symmetric equations for the versal deformation of the singularity $L_{n+1}^n$ consisting of n+1 lines through the origin in n-dimensional affine space in generic position. These make evident that the base space of the versal deformation of $L_{n+1}^n$ is isomorphic to the total space for $L_{n}^{n-1}$, if n>4. By induction it follows that the base space is irreducible and Gorenstein. We discuss the known connection to a modular compactification of the moduli space of (n+1)-pointed curves of genus 1. For other elliptic partition curves it seems unfeasable to compute the versal deformation in general. It is doubtful whether the base space is Gorenstein. For rational partition curves we show that the base space in general has components of different dimensions.
