Yes! A very honorable three points to doubleshuffle.

Dodie Smith is the author of 101 Dalmations.

There's one vital word hinted at in question 10 which you need to guess. I suspect that no-one here will have any trouble with the number once they guess the word.

I'll leave Q.10 for anyone to guess for fun, but over to orlok for the next quiz.
