When I returned to Aix-en-Provence, refreshed by my visit with Pissarro in Pontoise, I was informed by Monfred de Verlaine, the attorney appointed to make the final settlement of the Cezanne estate, that my sisters, exercising their "privilege" in my long absence, had sold the Jas de Bouffan. The impact of their selfish and unilateral action hit me with devasting impact; I felt I had suffered a terrible loss; that they had torn my roots; that they had deprived me of a home which had been a stabilizing factor in my life. The crisis suddenly, was overwhelming; I had no idea of where to turn; of what I could do to replace the sense of homelessness; of trying to reestablish the connection so critical for me.
