The actual quote from said piece by M. R. James reads:

(Dots are believed by many writers of our day to be a good substitute for effective writing. They are certainly an easy one. Let us have a few more......)

Note James uses the word DOTS, not the word ellipses. If you MUST point out articles, please quote them properly. I thank you, and I'm sure Monty James would thank you, if he were able.

This, of course is a minor point of pedantry. *LOL*

Anyway back to the doggerel and other verses, which, after all, is what this ummmmmm thread is all about; is it not?
