| Summary |
"Four Afoot: Being the Adventures of the Big Four on the Highway" by Ralph Henry Barbour is a work of fiction written in the early 20th century. This engaging and light-hearted narrative follows four friends—Dan, Nelson, Bob, and Tommy—as they embark on a walking trip through Long Island. Their adventure promises excitement, exploration, and the joys of youthful camaraderie infused with humor and mischief. At the start of the story, the four boys set out from Locust Park with high spirits and ambitious plans to reach Jericho, their journey marked by lively conversations, mishaps, and lighthearted banter. They encounter a farmer who provides them with directions, offering a glimpse into their characters as they navigate the rural landscape and deal with unplanned delays, most notably Tommy's overindulgence in pie. The opening serves to establish the personalities of each character, highlighting Dan's energetic leadership, Bob's practicality, Nelson's athleticism, and Tommy's mix of humor and clumsiness, all while hinting at the adventures that await them on their journey.
