How long after you had told him the news, did she ...

Hi

Do you think "had" is required in this sentence? Or is it optional?

How long after you had told him the news, did he pass out?

Thanks,

Tom

When the doctor spoke this sentence to the patient's mother, there was a considerable gap between "news" and "did" -- how can I show that AG?

Does this work?

How long after you told him the news...did he pass out?
