Mr. Green plays a secondary role in the novel. Mr. Green, an attorney, was in isolation and had to wait two hours to return, and when Green finally came back, he said that he had one businessman in the village, who he could not postpone anyway, but that he would arrive before the dawn on the Meuse. Mr. Green disposed of everything and everyone. He calculated all the servants except Nelly. He interpreted his authority so broadly that he wanted to bury Edgar Linton not near his wife, but in the church, in the family crypt of Linton. This, however, was interfered with by the will and loud protests against any derogations from the will of the deceased indicated therein.
