Translations for convulsively in French

Here are paragraphs from public domain books translated:
From time to time I felt my companion’s arm tremble convulsively, as if he shivered from head to feet. I looked at him. He understood the look, and smiled at me; we had not exchanged a word since leaving the house. De temps en temps, je sentais tressaillir convulsivement le bras de mon compagnon, comme si des frissons l'eussent parcouru tout à coup. Alors, je le regardais; il comprenait mon regard et me souriait, mais, depuis que nous étions sortis de chez lui, nous n'avions pas échangé une parole.
