Cancan's load_and_authorize_resource when resource name is different from model/controller name

In my app, I have sheets controller, model name is Sheet but my routes are as below

routes.rb
 namespace :magazine do
  resources :pages, :controller => "sheets" do
    resources :articles do
     resources :comments

so that url will be magazine/page/1/article...

In my Article controller how to call load_and_authorize_resource for sheets so that I can access article of the related sheet. I tried

load_and_authorize_resource :sheet, :class => 'Sheet', :parent => false
load_and_authorize_resource :through => :sheet

Cannot access @sheet.articles......

Either you have:

 load_and_authorize_resource :page, :class => 'Sheet', :parent => false

And you access your data with @pages

Or you replace with:

 load_and_authorize_resource :sheet, :class => 'Sheet', :parent => false

And you access your data with @sheets

In ArticlesController, to get both sheet and articles:

load_and_authorize_resource :sheet, :class => 'Sheet'
load_and_authorize_resource :article, :through => :sheet
