The word "flustered" indicates a state of nervous confusion or agitation. The context of the passage, where the narrator is in a situation (presumably a barber - customer interaction) and is not yet prepared (had not put the sheet on the customer), suggests a sense of unease. "Anxious" is a synonym for this state of unease. "Sorrowful" implies sadness, which is not indicated in the passage. "Humorous" would imply something funny, which is also not present.
