They may be good and hard (5)
I believe the answer is:
times
'they may be good and hard' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for times that I've seen before include "Big Apple's theatre district" , "''For the ..., they are a'changin'''(Bob Dylan)" , "Thunderer?" , "See 10" , "Paces" .)
