Explanation:

"Ajar" means slightly open, similar to "agape" which can mean open - mouthed. "Fazed" implies being disturbed or disconcerted, and has no relation to "truculently" (aggressively). "Burly" means large and strong, similar to "strapping". There is no relation between the description of Sykes' actions in the last sentence and "mirth" (amusement).
