Shakesperian Puzzle

"Toby: Here's an overweening rogue."
II.v.28

I believe overweening refers to Malvolio overstepping his bounds. He believes everything in Olivia's letter is true. He verbally point out that he actually is all of those wonderful things that Olivia says he is. Toby probably basically said "What a conceited idiot."
