A single page should be shorter

Question

I need a single page (page 3 in my example) to be shorter than the rest of the pages. I don't know where the page break is (3 to 4), so I can't manually insert \restoregeometry. Therefore I've tried with the package (command) afterpage, but this has no visible effect.

Pages 1 to 3 are fine, pages 4 and later should look similar to first two pages.

\documentclass{book}
\usepackage{geometry,blindtext,afterpage}
\geometry{textheight=183.5mm}

\begin{document}
  \blindtext[10]
  \newgeometry{textheight=50mm}
  \noindent This is a special (short) page

  \afterpage{\restoregeometry}
  \blindtext[10]
\end{document}

There is this closed question which is very similar to mine.

all what you need is \enlargethispage{value}

\documentclass{book}
\usepackage{geometry,blindtext}
\geometry{textheight=183.5mm}

\begin{document}
  \blindtext[10]

 \enlargethispage{-133.5mm} \noindent This is a special (short) page


  \blindtext[10]
\end{document}
