So Norrison has one hour to turn an uncouth, slovenly, Communist
oaf into the perfect son-in-law for an American multi-millionaire.
At this point, Norrison discovers that his charge has married in secret,
to a comprehensively inappropriate man, and that she is pregnant by him.
Then, late in the play, a bunch of flowers come in,
designated for the investor's wife, and Norrison dumps the bottle of aspirin in- to keep them fresh.
I think my favorite
bit of business involved a bottle of aspirin, which Norrison orders and
repeatedly refuses to give to a lawyer in his employ who has a 108 degree fever, telling him the aspirin is designated for another purpose.
