I don't know what the norm is elsewhere, but Lochac doesn't do ambush 
peerages.  I'd be absolutely beside myself if it happened.  I'm not even 
certain whether I'd want to *accept* a peerage, and I'd have to make the 
decision on the spot.  And add to that being straight from the kitchen.  
No, thank you-- in filthy clothes and tears is _not_ my idea of a good 
experience.
