Subj : accessing methods of base class

Referring to example:

function One() {
    this.toString = function() {return 'One';};
}

function Two() {
    One.apply(this);
    this.toString = function() {return <access One class toString> + '\n' +
'Two';}
}
Two.prototype = new One();


Is it somehow possible to access the original toString method of the base
class once it has been overridden? So that the overriding version can
'append' to the original? (see example).

Also, doesn't the Two.prototype = new One(); statement result in the One
constructor being executed twice?

Thank you.
