what does "someone's spirits" mean?
I am reading a book ant there was:
"She was now, on being settled at home, at leisure to observe the real state of her sister's spirits."

is it something similar to mood?
And one more thing. Is this phrase normally used in conversation?

Answer

Yes, it means "mood". If someone is in good spirits, you can say that he or she is in a good mood.

The phrase is commonly understood, so yes you should learn it well. ;)
