The Torah is sparing in its use of direct dialogue.  While we assume that our ancestors had many conversations as they went about their daily lives, only key conversations are shared with the reader.  Avraham’s final reported conversation takes place in this week’s parasha, Chayei Sarah.  Avraham has just tasked his most trusted servant, Eliezer, with returning to his homeland to find a wife for his son, Yitzchak.  Afraid that perhaps the chosen woman won't return to Canaan with him, Eliezer asks Avraham; if the woman won’t come back with me, should I bring Yitzchak to her in Haran?
