The character Joe Gargery in Charles Dickens' novel "Great Expectations" is the one who often says the phrase "what larks, Pip" to express his excitement and enjoyment of the situation.
It is very similar to "who knew" or "I wonder" only in Joe's words he uses that saying instead Um, not really, I'm afraid. "What larks" expresses the sentiment of "what a hilarious time we'll have" in this context. Joe says this when he tells Pip that when he's well, they'll go out for a ride together. And then, "what larks, Pip" So the answer is akin to: "what fun we'll have", and not "who knew" or "I wonder"
Joe says "What larks!" he and Pip will have. He uses the phrase to mean that they will have fun, laughs, or a good time.
The poetic collective nouns for a group of larks is An exaltation of larks.
