Well who knows? That could have been put in place by the translator or maybe it was originally there...but typically ellipses show thought and thus illicit a pause so in a way it is possible that Pulcheria was searching for the right word to describe him and then exclaimed it thus the pause since the reader never gets to hear (or read) what is going on in the minds of other characters. Just a theory of course...
that's what i was thinking too. i wasn't sure though.
