Parashas Chayei Sarah · Passuk 24:23
“Pray tell me,” he said, “whose daughter are you? Is there room in your father’s house for us to spend the night?”
Rashi on Bereishis 24:23 (classical source on this passuk; not listed as a numbered Torah Temimah unit here).
Lemma / focus: בת מי את.
English: He asked her this after he had given her the presents, for he was confident that, on account of the merit of Avraham, the Holy One had made his way succeed.
Derash on the verse (Rashi) — not a formal named middah of the 13: the narrative order (gift before question) is read as deliberate trust in the merit of his master.
Eliezer gave the gifts before asking whose daughter she was; he relied on Avraham’s merit that the path had already been made successful.
