' so much the better for her , ' said simon . ' and now we have got rid of her , we must consider what we are to do with the old dog . he is quite deaf and blind , and invariably barks when there is no need , and makes no sound when there is . i think the best thing i can do with him is to hang him . ' but soft - hearted susan replied , ' please do n't do so . he 's surely not so useless as all that . ' ' do n't be foolish , ' said her husband . ' the courtyard might be full of thieves and he 'd never discover it . no , the first time i see him , it 's all up with him , i can tell you . '
to hang him .
