It is called a left-handed compliment. For example : You are smarter than you look.
I've heard it called a backhanded compliment, because it compliments you, but you feel slightly insulted.
Another example is 'damning with faint praise'. This is a compliment that seems to most in earshot to be much less glowing than an individual's accomplishments would generally deserve. This may be somewhat subtle, and is an example of clever, even brilliant rhetoric if done intentionally and expertly well.

She is afraid of him because she doesnt want him to do what he did to her father during the trial (write her name on paper). She also beleives that he insults her by calling her "Miss", since no one has ever called her that before. That gives you a good idea on how she is treated by others.
