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:
“I always used to suffer a great deal if I let myself get too close to reality since the definitive world of the everyday with its hard edges and harsh light did not have enough resonance to echo the demands I made upon experience. It was as if I never experienced experience as experience. Living never lived up to the expectations I had of it—the Bovary syndrome.”
—Angela Carter (1942–1992)
