Habit?

An institution?

Better addressed to the bedpost?

Humble role?!

Good God, was this really what Watson thought of himself? Of him? Had the man taken a knife to his heart he could not have wounded more. No wonder Doctor Watson always defaulted back to the easy comfort of a wife if this was truly how he saw their relationship.

There a certain ambiguity to this that I love. You expect it to be Holmes talking... and perhaps it is. But if it is, he's speaking in third person, separating himself from the intimate thought. There's more to these 60 words than meets the eye.
