have a time of it

Won't I have a time of it all round!

"Poor devil; he will have a time of it, with the mole-hills and the thistles, and all those ghosts."

But at the wedding I'll have a time of it; for nobody can go it like the Screamer.

Between Joy's dancing and my dreaming, those poor teachers have a time of it.

Oh, my dear, I did have a time of it!
