The congressman looks for an extra-martial affair with Virgilia, who is admired by him. He helps Virgilia after the raid on Harpers Ferry from the assylum, conveys her to the nursing corps of Mrs. Dix, and provides extra shippings of morphium to the hospital. Only as Virgilia asks him for help on the murder charge over the dead Southern officer, she gives herself to him. The quiet and low-speaking Green so much enjoys this that he keeps the information on the charge's repeal from her until the war closes. Virgilia is so upset on that that she shoots him dead.
