In Longman dictionary, there's a sentence that makes me hard to get a meaning.
Can you give me the meaning of the example sentence.
4 [transitive] BrE to put the cloth, plates, knives, forks etc on a table, ready for a meal [= set]:
• As she spoke, she was laying him a place at the table.
[ I think she arranged the table for him to eat the meal. Am I right?]
