Has the quote, perchance, been intended entirely italicised?
There're also the 'ragged seems'.

A loaded with hidden money and secret-agent equipment Bertie sounds JamesBond-ish and is very impressive. Jeeves, casually displaying medical know-how, is, of course, rather unsurprising; him as 'Genie' is virtually a nod to the fandom. The pilot does not recommend himself well thus far, plus now they are stuck with an invalid. It's fascinating to see Jeeves bickering with an old acquaintance, and his unsubtle threat of bodily harm is priceless.
The dialogue keeps pointing up the reality of war, and between the journey and an addition to the party I imagine the larger world may soon be re-entered.

The italicized ''tis not' is something WordPress decided to do all by its lonesome. But I'm ashamed to say using the wrong seams was entirely my doing. Thank you for letting me know about these mistakes! They're fixed now.

I wish there were more Jeeves as Djinn fics. I've only read one, and that by someone who clearly hadn't read the books.

I'm glad this part seems a bit more realistic rather than less. The larger world will indeed soon be reentered, with disastrous results.
