40 saturnine?
44a trolley
24a trundle
Methinks Mightymouse knows.
44a. TransporteR, nothing = O; YELL reversed
24a true around n d l (initials Necessarily Deviating Left)
Saturnine - 'SA' (Sex Appeal; "it") + 'turn in' (go to bed) + 'E(cstasy)' (pill)
Saturnine means "dark, gloomy temperament," so that's the dark part sorted:
