They even had the same Charlotte Osgood Mason, a wealthy white woman who insisted on being called “Godmother.”Paying them lavishly while trying to control their work, Mason may have been the spark for their bitter falling-out. Was the split inevitable when Hughes decided to be financially independent of their patron? Was Hurston jealous of the woman employed as their typist?
