#Sheal# is a homophone, 1. a shepherd's hut or shanty; 2. a peascod or seed-shell. Of the first, shiel and shieling are common forms; the second is dialectal; E.D.D. gives #shealing# as the husk of seeds.

He is not James Gathorne Kerry now; he is James Shiel Gathorne Crozier, and oh, you understand: he's back again where he was before before he left her." The Young Doctor nodded approvingly. "What a little brazen wonder you are! I declare you see more than " "Yet you won't have me?" she asked mockingly.
