An Ellipsis for Stammering (spaces)

"I...I...I have never done such a thing in my life!" she screamed.

Does it matter if there is a space before the first dot and after the last one in an elipses? In that case there aren't any, but in this one there is:

"I ... I ... I have never done such a thing in my life!" she screamed.

Does it even matter?

Thanks.

Oh, OK, so the first way is right, then. Good. I've just been seeing it with those two spaces lately, that's why I thought I'd ask.

Thanks agian, MM.
