Answer:
Well, as far as I can tell, many English people like tea, and it is also somewhat of a tradition. The “unlike the rest of Europe,” however, is just wrong.
I personally got into tea - good black tea - as a student in Bremen. Now, granted, I had some experience with some cheap-ish one back in Bulgaria (I never got to drink coffee, so I took a substitute), but Germany was where I started branching out into teas. It may seem atypical for the German stereotype, but in Bremen and Hamburg there are some great specialized tea shops. I think this is likely due to their Hanseatic heritage - as long-established trading hubs, they would be exposed to exotic goods from around the world, so something like tea or coffee would quickly find popularity as a sign of worldliness and class - remember, for most of their history the Hanseatic states were essentially run by merchants. I did not really use the opportunity, but I would expect that for much the same reason, tea would be quite popular in the Netherlands as well. Further east, there is Russia, which has its own rich tea culture. Have you heard of the samovar? When you have a special device for boiling tea and the word for it spreads to other languages, you know tea is “serious business.”

Ugly words and a group of buzzards
Answer:
Tom decides that, unloved, he must run away and go into a life of crime. He happens on Joe Harper, who also seems upset: "Plainly, here were 'two souls with but a single thought.'" Chapter 13, pg. 80 Joe has just been whipped by his mother. Tom convinces him they should become pirates. They find Huck and make plans to head for Jackson's Island. They agree to meet at midnight. The rest of the day, they tell no one what they have planned, although they all hint that something is about to happen. At midnight, they take a raft and some fire and go to the island. As they sail down the river, Tom looks at the village and imagines Becky seeing him leave to live a pirate's life.
The boys land on a sandbar at the top of the island and leave the raft. They go into the forest and make a fire and get ready to camp. They eat some food they stole from town, and talk about how great being a pirate is. Huck makes a pipe out of a corncob and smokes. Tom and Joe tell Huck all the things pirates do--capture ships and treasure, kill men, kidnap women, and dress in fancy clothes. Huck is embarrassed at his rags, but Tom and Joe tell him that they will get fancy clothes later. Huck falls asleep quickly. Tom and Joe have more trouble. Although they don't talk, they both feel guilty about running away and stealing, because the Bible commands against it. It is only after they both decide that they won't steal again that they fall asleep.
