The narrator is confused because it its unclear why does he live in a shabby home. 
<u>Explanation:</u>
The civilian that the author is talking about in the passage had been retired from the service of the Hussars at a very young age of thirty five. Even though he settled in a wretched and a little village, still the life style he had was extravagant.
It was not clear to the people living in the surroundings that why was he living in such a shabby place. At his home, champagne flowed like water and the officers of high post of the regiment used to come for dinner. Even after this, he always used to be dressed shabbily so it was very confusing for the people living in the surroundings.
 
        
             
        
        
        
Answer:
I would say that yes, it is applicable to the story because the whole thing is about the narrator's team failing several times in multiple different ways, but they were given the courage to continue on by the narrator's dad. They learned that the success of the Madison team was not final as well. They may have beat them but only by 3 points.

The adverb clause here is <span>"since the sun came out" - it gives some information about the timing of the event. 
It modifies "feels" (actually I would say that it modifies the phase "feels warmer") - this "feeling" happens since the sun came out, that's when it started!</span>
