Read the following passage from pages 203-204:

Question

" 'How pretty,' I said. 'What kind are they?'
'They're medieval fish pies,' she said. 'A variation on starry gazey pie.' Starry gazey pie is one in which the crust is slit so that the whole baked eels within can poke their nasty little heads out and look at the pie crust stars with which the top is supposed to be festooned.
'Oh,' I said, swallowing hard. 'In what way do they vary?'
'Well, I couldn't get eel,' said my hostess. 'So I got squid, flounder, apples, onions, lots of cinnamon, and something called galingale. It's kind of like frankincense.'
'I see,' I said."

How is Colwin most likely feeling when he says, "I see"?
