Colleagues

I've been struggling today with trying to change paragraph width of selected paragraphs within the body text of a novel I'm typesetting. I thought that the way to do this would be by framing the text that I would like to reduce the paragraph width off.  However the framed text doesn't seem to honour page breaks and just seems to disappear off the page bottom.  Also the framed text starts on a new page which I do not want to happen.

Any suggestions on how I may go about solving this problem?

Here is an example tex file which shows these effects:
\definepapersize[book][width=5.06in,height=7.81in]

\setuppapersize [book][]

\setuplayout [width=middle,backspace=12.5mm,cutspace=12.5mm,height=middle,topspace=12.7mm,bottomspace=12.7mm]

\starttext

\dorecurse{2}{\input ward \blank}

\midaligned

\framed[frame=off,width=5cm,align={width,nothyphenated,verytolerant,stretch},before=\blank]{\dorecurse{4}{\input ward \blank}}

\dorecurse{2}{\input ward \blank}

\stoptext
