Shouting, Wrestling, Displaying His Garters

And Michael Brick is there to document it: And then, despite complaints of arthritis and gout, Mr. Gargiulo re-enacted the fight, his voice rising and accelerating, hands waving, feet dancing backward and forth. He struck his chest and he fell to his knees, swinging an imaginary blade left and right.

He dropped into a wrestling hold, sank to his stomach, flipped to his back, climbed to his knees and pantomimed holding a man down by the shoulders. Then he returned to the stand and drank water from a small plastic cup.
