Quoting Consecutive Words

A habit of good writers is to select only the portion of the original text that relates to the thesis of the essay or paper. You do not normally need to place an ellipsis at the end of a sentence that quotes only a few consecutive words of an original source. If the quoted material is only a phrase or, indeed, anything less than a complete sentence, the reader understands that the original continues on. Imagine, for example, that you are working from this original text by a writer named Sheldron:

Original: The marketplace was crowded with fruit sellers, basket-toting shoppers, and every conceivable variety of transport; but the militants were able to slip through the mob with ease.
