Tanith Lee RIIP (Part 8): Madame Two Swords, Sisters Grimmer and Leo

So Tanith Lee continues...  Note from her wiki page: 

• Madame Two Swords (1988)

Both the twin 88 in the year and the "two swords" are additions to the "Twin Things" pattern-clsuter. Note from the novels wiki page:

 first published in 1988 by Donald M. Grant, Publisher, Inc. 

Note from Donald Grant's wiki page:

Donald Metcalf Grant (April 3, 1927-August 19, 2009) 

We have another August to add to the ever growing "August Date Sequence" pattern-cluster... I've stopped counting.  And she got a little punny with this one:

• Red as Blood, or Tales from the Sisters Grimmer (1983) 

On the Brothers Grimm wiki page, I noted the following:

...  reacted against the demands of King Ernest Augustus I

For one, we have another to add to the recent "August/Augustus/Leo" pattern-cluster.  Secondly, we have an addition to the "King/Royal Theme..." pattern-cluster.  It occurred to me then, that the month of August was named after the first Emperor of Rome, 

Augustus (23 September 63 BC – 19 August 14 AD)

Wow... Augustus died on August 19 the same as Donald Grant... so we have a "August 19" pattern-cluster in the works.  And note from the wiki page of the mother of Ernest Augustus I :

Queen Charlotte, (Sophia Charlotte; 19 May 1744 – 17 November 1818)

Now May 19 has cropped up numerous times in this past week, note from my post  Ashbel Green and John Hibben RIIIIP: Death Bell Toll

Since I recollect May 19 cropping up a few times, note for instance the following Princeton Presidents:

• Ashbel Green, D.D. (July 6, 1762 – May 19, 1848

• John Grier Hibben (April 19, 1861 – May 16, 1933) 

Ashbel Green died on May 19.  I posted Hibben as well because doing an about face to 19 gives us 16, so an addition to the "Opposites/About Face" pattern-cluster.  Because the date is fairly close to present, this is usually a means to direct us back to May 19 
Deaths in 2015 site.  Note the following notable person who died on May 19, 2015  who now stands out: 

• Joe Carr, 83, Scottish footballer (St Johnstone).

So note the surname "Carr"... the twin "rr" being an addition to the "Twin Things" pattern-cluster... and in this case the "rr" also communicates "are are"-- state of being/existing "twice/twins".  The name is also phonetically identical to "car"... and then we have St. Johnstone a name that breaks down into "John Stone".  I/we should have become aware at that point, that the inner twin world were about to do something concerning a "car" and with a notable "John"... the "stone" being a way for them to communicate "target"... as in "two birds with one stone" (whether good or bad)... and as it turned out the Notable John targeted was John Nash who died in a car accident just four days later on the 222nd day of the year!!
