Ah, so he was miffed/peeved? As would be a Brit. Jolly much so.

Right, but in my version of USian English, both "miffed" and
"peeved" are much too mild to fit. Picture a cartoon of a guy
with brick-red face and steam rising from his collar, whom only
his civilized habits are preventing from shouting and throwing things.
