Really struggling with two last interlocking answers - can anyone give me a gentle nudge?

41 Knight after ridicule ignoring son _O_ _

34 Pretty thin wrapping ending in bin _ ON _ Y (BONNY? how does that parse?)

TIA

34 Bony (thin ) round (Bi)n

34 Bonny = Pretty. Bony = Thin, add the ending/last letter of biN.

Aaah, you wanted a 'gentle nudge' - a thousand apologies. I'm watching tennis at the same time, the only excuse I can offer.

41 Think of a four letter word for 'ridicule', drop/ignore the 'son' and add the usual knight.

… and remember, the preamble may contain some useful information.

Last one 26a) second article in yellow(5) ?t?er. Thanks for any help.

O(the)r.

OTHER, the second one
THE, article, in OR, yellow or gold

Yes of course. Toyed with 'other' but couldn't see the wood for the trees!

Thank you Malone, I think I must have been having a particularly cloddish day!
