He saw her beauty once when he came upon her washing her clothing in the bathroom. He took her with him to his home in Switzerland where he worked. One night he raped her. Then when she became pregnant he demanded that she get an abortion, but a physician told him this would endanger her life. This was a crisis for the engineer, and the maid would not stop crying.
