Why does enjambment show the distance between himself and his mum?  where is the scene being set? Has him mum come to help her son measure his new house? Am I right?

And my final question. Why is ellipses being used?

Does anyone know the answer to these questions? If yes it would be really helpful if you could answer them. Thanks
