if you go by the book,
1) amount of + uncountable noun
2) number of + plural countable noun
and why shouldn't you?

"... I know perfectly well whom she will place me next to, to-night. She will place me next Mary Farquhar, who always flirts with her own husband across the dinner-table. That is not very pleasant.
