All this time, I was getting on towards the river; but however fast I went, I couldn't warm my feet, to which the damp cold seemed riveted, as the iron was riveted to the leg of the man I was running to meet.

What does the phrase "damp cold seemed riveted" suggest about how the narrator feels?

He cannot escape the feeling of icy weather.

He thinks the rain will make things better.

He feels sure that his plans caused the rain.

He sees the sky and knows what is coming.
