I'll try, here goes:
itinerant-one who travels from place to place
harbinger-person or thing that foretells future
varlet-a servant; also slang for scoundrel
anecdotes-short accounts of a happening/incident
portentours- i have no idea -check spelling maybe?
subsequent- an event following or succeeding(more commonly-after)
uncouth-crude, without manners
Hessian- Swedish noun-not sure of meaning
perambulations-baby strollers(UK)
coquette-female who toys with the feelings of men; a flirt
piqued-longed for; wanted
repose-peace and quiet; rest
charticlear-not sure of meaning-a place maybe?
dexterous-good with your hands
rantipole-not sure-check spelling?
pliability-ability to be flexible
eloquence-the quality of artistry in speech and/or writing
reductable-able to be diminished
hitherto-up to a certain time
pensive-looking thoughful, mostly from sadness
Most of the definitions I guessed myself. About 4 of them I had to check with Wiktionary. Sorry I didn't include sentences as well. I admit I got lazy after the definitions. A few of the words I've never heard of and when I checked Wiktionary they were nowhere to be found. Maybe check the spelling of a few of them. You seem intelligent enough to come up with sentences so you'll be fine. Good luck and I hope someone else can help you with the words I couldn't help you with.

I know that the Hessians were German soldiers used by the Britians to attack Americans during the American Revolution... you know... when George Washington crossed the Delaware River on Christmas night and captured about 900 Hessians

wow...I'm in 9th grade and I know like one of those words....I looked up the definitions and I don't think any of them really relate to each other in a way that they could define one another. Before class tomorrow (or whenever it's due) come up to your teacher and tell her you didn't understand or had a hard time finding an answer. If you don't tell her that you had trouble with it, she might assume you didn't try.

Sorry, I refuse to do your homework for you. But you can go to dictionary.com and plug in the words to find out their meanings and then put them in context. Once you know what a word means, it's not that hard to use it in a sentence.

I cannot repose my mind thinking of an answer.
Up until now, I did not know what hitherto meant.
