It was a blooper! I was having big problems with that sentence - in
retrospect 'deliver' would have been better although I got rid of that word
after I had so much trouble explaining it to my Japanese students. They just
couldn't get it and their dictionary did not have that context. When I
finally decided on 'laid' it was to mean that baby Selma was laid on the
table - nicely and softly all swaddled in towels! If it inspires a tiatro
who should play the adult Selma? I am a bit out of touch with tiatristas.
