So she picks up Bennett and she carries him to Nome this time, 40 miles away.

She gets to Nome with Bennett.

She's carried him all this way.

And she realizes she can't afford his medical treatment.

So she has to make an impossible decision and she surrenders Bennett to an orphanage because she knows that if he's at the orphanage, they're going to make sure he gets medical care.

They're going to pay for his treatment.

The most important thing to her is that Bennett's safe, but all she wants to do is be back together with him.

And so she makes a promise to herself and to Bennett that no matter what she is going to earn the money to be able to bring him home.

Now Ada is 23 years old.

She's living in Nome.

And the gold rush is over.

People have just drained out of there.

But it's still packed with shanties and saloons.

It's really a lawless place.

It's a drinkin' town.

It's a lot of people who came to make their fortune and did not make it.

Well, probably, but she also, she kind of has a reputation as a flirt.

Nice.

Okay.

So Ada is usually pretty shy and quiet, but she can be a flirt.
