Tense Question

Little help, please.

Is it:

"...where Ben had laid out some cards on the desk."

or:

"...where Ben had lain out some cards on the desk."

?

I've used the former, but I'm not certain about it...

There are two verbs - to lay and to lie... It goes: Lay Lay Laid Lie Lay Lain So the answer is, um... 'laid' methinks

Well that's less straightforward than I'd hoped. I'm going with Laid. Thanks Ferg.
