One thing that always bothers me is the use of ellipses. Any writer worth
their salt knows that ellipsis (ellipsis is three dots "...") means that
something has been left out or the sentence is incomplete,

Sherrie here:
I didn't read it that way. Often in a script, an ellipsis will be used to
indicate to the actor that a dramatic pause should be placed at that spot in
the line. It's easier than writing "(pause)". <g>
Trance mediums usually pause several times while giving a prophecy/reading.
(If you can find a tape of Kevin Ryerson or the late Sybil Leek, you'll see
what I mean.) (Not John Edward or Sylvia Browne - they're not trancers,
they're wide-awakes.) I just read the ellipses as Trelawney pausing in her
"lines".
