[EMAILS] 6/3 From Morgan and Layla, no subjects

Right before and during the chat with Morgan (read other topic), a new image appeared on Morgan's frontpage and we received 3 emails, as follows and in order:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):

From Morgan:
"01000001001000000110110101100001011011100010000001110111011

00010000001100001011101010110111001110100"
which decodes to

"A man with a hump-backed uncle mustn't make fun of another man's cross-eyed aunt"

which is a quote by Mark Twain

Spoiler (Rollover to View):

From Layla:
"The press is like the peculiar uncle you keep in the attic - just one
of those unfortunate things."

A quote by G. Gordon Liddy

Spoiler (Rollover to View):

From Morgan:
"I have a good eye, uncle; I can see a church by day-light."
which is by Shakespeare, As You Like It, Act 2, Scene 1

The above-mentioned pic was a solid color, almost black (hex colorcode #282828). We used the common theme of the above quotes as a steg-key... but failed. Then,

Spoiler (Rollover to View):

we started looking for other uncles mentioned so far and came across Layla's uncle Wilheim, who deeded the Tower to her when she died. His name was the steg key and the pic contained a text file with the following contents:

"I had instructions. The man who sold me the property said there were conditions. I wasn't to have anyone under the age of twenty-five stay at the house. Nor was I to sell it to the same.

Bah!

I always hated the bastard who sold me the property. So, though I wouldn't be around to enjoy it, I willed Rookery Tower to my young niece. She seemed nice enough."

Edited to shorten the binary string.
