Adeline was really rather charming, she always had a man in her life, but it never worked out: either they were nice, but she didn't find them very exciting; or they were exciting, but she didn't find them particularly nice, or they were neither nice nor exciting, and she wondered why she was with them at all. She found a way of making the exciting men nicer and that was by leaving them. But then, they weren't exciting anymore either.
