Connection, for lack of a better term, with the ball and chain. Almost

like

"Connection" doesn't start a new sentence, so don't capitalize it. Also,
I'd use ellipses after "term" because you started its clause with them.

Hmm. Now of late people have been telling me that the first word after the
ellipse is capitalized. I can't find my bloody English grammar book, so

I'm

uncertain. Anyone no for sure which is the official way to spell the word
after the ellipse?

    It depends on _how_ you are using them.  I use ellipses for two main
effects:

1.)  Trailing off at the end of a sentence--
    "If you gave Mihoshi the keys, then that means..."  In this case, the
next word would be capitalized, because it's a new sentence.

2.)  A pause in speaking rhythm, or a hesitation while searching for the
right word--
    "Kasumi is dancing around in the kitchen, only wearing a negligee?
That's... disturbing."
--or--
    "Finding out about Princess Fatora's... preferences... can be quite
shocking if you don't know her."  Since the word is part of the sentence,
the following one is not capitalized.
