Expectations Unfullfilled
In some cases a person was nominated for a peerage which was refused, such as Sir Isaac Isaacs.
In some cases there was a very strong expectation of being nominated for a peerage that failed to materialise, such as Sir Henry Bolte.
In some cases, the nominee died before the peerage was granted, such as Daniel Patrick O'Connell.

Famous quotes containing the word expectations:
“Hope is itself a species of happiness, and, perhaps, the chief happiness which this world affords: but, like all other pleasures immoderately enjoyed, the excesses of hope must be expiated by pain; and expectations improperly indulged must end in disappointment.”
—Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)
