As I recall, it was a one eyed dog, but that's beside the point. He says with quiet amusement.

with calm exasperation

The narrator is not happy that he has been tricked into Simon Wheeler's story-telling antics. He is annoyed that he is stuck listening to these tales about Smiley's gambling. While he listens well, he is not amused, patient, or attentive.
