これまた／なんてこれまた meaning?


Going off the main clause I think the general meaning here is that Saegusa
(2nd person) is giving the speaker (narrator, 1st person) a surprised look
(lit. "giving me a great suprise" - the speaker used 上品に to stress random
things before so assume it's the same here).

> (NARRATOR, 1st person): まあ、なんてこれまた上品に驚いてくれる三枝さん。

There's not much relevant context here other than the narrator just having
surprised Saegusa by revealing a surprising fact (surprise!).

What I'm missing here is the role of なんてこれまた.

The grammar book I'm using as
[reference](http://rads.stackoverflow.com/amzn/click/4789012956) has two forms
of なんて, the first one (a fixed phrase) used before a noun or a verb as a
question, e.g.

> なんていうひとですか。

Or as なんて＋Ａｄｊ｜Ｎ＋だろう as an exclamation, e.g.

> なんて難しいんだろう！

The second form (a particle) is used after another word "to express a strong
feeling", e.g.

> 小学校からのいじめが中学まで続く **なんて** ひどい。

As for これまた, I am at a loss. Does it carry any nuance? Google search didn't
help
[much](http://detail.chiebukuro.yahoo.co.jp/qa/question_detail/q1328071213)
(or, to be more accurate, I don't really know where to look for).

おしえてください！

Thank you!




> 「まあ、なんてこれまた[上品]{じょうひん}に[驚]{おどろ}いてくれる[三枝]{さえぐさ}さん」

「なんて」 here expresses exclamation, which is the same usage as 「なんて」 in
「なんて[難]{むずか}しいんだろう！」 among the examples you have listed. = "How ~~!"

「これまた」 should **not** be analysed too literally by its components 「これ」 and
「また」. Instead, it should be treated as a common set phrase used to express a
great degree of exclamation, excitement, surprise, etc. that the speaker is
feeling about something.

Therefore, 「なんてこれまた」 is what I might call a double-exclamatory expression
similar in feeling to "how on earth", "how freaking ~~", "what in the world",
etc.

> "Boy, how freaking elegantly Saegusa showed his surprise!"

That is just a "translation". The original is only a long noun phrase, not a
sentence like my TL above, in which 「なんてこれまた上品に驚いてくれる」 modifies 「三枝さん」.
