We know that אברהם sent his servant to find a wife for his son יצחק. He was very adamant that the girl for his son must not be from the כנעני and that יצחק would not leave his home to see her. Yet, when רבקה first sees him out in the field, it seems as though she can't already be back at their home. It had just said that they were going and then it said that יצחק went out to the fields to talk to 'ה. So the question is: had רבקה and the servant already arrived back at the house (in which case, wouldn't she already know that יצחק was the servants master?) or did יצחק meet them when they were still on the way, but not there yet (in which case יצחק would have left his home, which אברהם did not want him to do.)
