No. The parameters for READ-FROM-STRING are

	READ-FROM-STRING string &optional eof-error-p eof-value
                                &key start end preserve-whitespace

Both optional parameters must be present to specify keyword parameters. So what
you want to do is

	(READ-FROM-STRING "foo bar" T NIL :START 4)
