To plume herself on her superior virtue?

Hello everybody.

I am reading 'Little Women' and I have a question.

Would you please tell me what the bold means?

(Jo ana Amy fought hard because Amy had burnt Jo's book.Now Amy is irritated because she asked Jo to forgive her, but she didn't.)

Amy was much offended that her overtures of peace had been repulsed, and began to wish she had not humbled herself, to feel more injured than ever, and to plume herself on her superior virtue in a way which was particularly exasperating.

Does it mean Amy was proud of herself that asked Jo for apology which showed her superior virtue to Jo but asking apology was hard?

Thanks so much ??.
