us mla formate.

i am writing an essay and i need a quote but the quote is too long. i'm gonna capitalize the important things in the quote. i need to make it short. btw my teacher told me to put [..] but i didn't get it.

here is e quote:

"calpurnia's message had been received by the neighborhood. every wood door within our range of vision was closed tight. we saw no trace of tim johnson. we watched calpurnia running toward the radley place, holding her skirt and apron above her knees."
