'a great uproar' is the definition.
'furore' can be an answer for 'uproar' (synonyms). I am not sure about the 'a great' bit.

'at about four again' is the wordplay.
'at' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'about' indicates anagramming the letters.
'again' becomes 're' (prefix meaning 'again').
'four' is an anagram of 'furo'.
'furo' next to 're' is 'FURORE'.

'there's' is the link.
