Blyton Ditloids Quiz
In case you don't know what a ditloid is "A ditloid is a type of word puzzle, in which a phrase, quotation, date, or fact must be deduced from the numbers and abbreviated letters in the clue. "
For example,
24 H in a D = 24 Hours in a Day
52 C in a P = 52 Cards in a Pack
20000 LU the S = Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea
So here's the first Blyton one, can you guess the phrase?
4c + 1d = TFF

"You're so sharp you'll cut yourself one day!" Hunchy said going to the door
"So my Mother told me that when I was two years old!" said Julian and the others giggled.

Four children + one dog = The Famous Five?
"My school," thought Darrell, and a little warm feeling came into her heart.

It was:
