Я думаю, здесь что-то про светскую даму, претендующую на какую-то исключительность...

no problem!
if you have time, just curious: is he being sarcastic? if he is, how will you translate that into Russian? being sarcastic in Russian orally, can do, but in writing i still have problems. are there some kind of phrases or interjections you can use while writing to make it obvious you are using sarcasm?

oh, i actually have no idea :-) I was asked to translate the phrase, without any context, so i really don't know. sorry :-)
