That young girl," he added unexpectedly, "is one of the least benightedly unintelligent life forms it has been my profound lack of pleasure not to be able to avoid meeting."
Please correct me if I am an imbecile, but, doesn't this just mean: "She is the least stupid young girl I have had the displeasure of meeting"? That's not that obfusatory, is it? Just a kind of damnation with the faintest imaginable praise.
