They reach a gentleperson’s agreement to “pair” their votes if one of the senators will be absent.

The gentleperson should read "The Plot Against America".

Tragically, that gentleperson's agreement has fallen apart along with the gentlemanliness that once characterized discourse in Congress.

U.S. lawmakers had a gentleperson’s agreement to keep their disagreements to themselves when they were overseas.

The prospect of changing this to “officer and a gentleperson” did not pass muster. There was no clear alternative to manhole either, Thiessen says.
