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".
