Yes, a two sided compliment. Written by Antoinette (4/5/2008 4:03 p.m.) in consequence of the missive, A dish but maybe a conceited dish?, penned by Jean B

Mr. Knightley is both complimenting and insulting Elton here, how like Mr. Knightley. He is saying that Elton is handsome, and vain. Not a great combination.
