Persons with spirit (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

souls

I believe this is a double definition.

'persons' is the first definition.
('soul' can be a synonym of 'person')

'spirit' is the second definition.
(I know this)

'with' is the link.

(Other definitions for souls that I've seen before include "All --, Oxford college" , "People" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
