Crossword Genius

Good people showing kindness (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

grace

'kindness' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'good people' is the wordplay.
'good' becomes 'g' (abbreviation).
'people' becomes 'race' (**).
'g'+'race'='GRACE'

'showing' is the link.

(Other definitions for grace that I've seen before include "Old batsman" , "Favour - a short prayer" , "'Amazing - - '" , "Elegance; girl's name" , "A girl" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
